Alligator Preserves

I have so enjoyed listening to the fun and quirky tale telling of a podcaster and author. Very funny stories and a wonderful listening experience. Love the intro music and introductions of what is coming up. I look forward to hearing more from Laurel.

Back to my story

What a fun way to end the day with my 10 year old, listening to your second podcast, on hair. We smiled, laughed, looked at each other quizzically and then laughed some more. We were also really impressed with your big word, it was well used...now, back to my story.
